About the Item

French Art Deco patinated bronze sculpture from circa 1930, celebrating the heroic figure of a Sailor or Navigator at sea. The muscular male nude is captured in a dramatic, powerful kneeling posture, shielding his eyes to peer toward the horizon, a classic maritime gesture of scanning for land or danger. This nautical interpretation is strongly supported by the figure resting against a large, stylized ship's rudder and the detail of a coiled rope, creating a compelling narrative. The sculpture is embossed "MEURICE" and "EDIY. DELYEN 118", the editor. Dimensions W 65.5 cm / 25.79 in. x D 21.0 cm / 8.27 in. x H 59.5 cm / 23.43 in
